Both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned sine die today. In his valedictory remarks in the Rajya Sabha, Chairman Mohammed Hamid Ansari expressed grave concern over the disruptions in the House.

He observed that the monsoon session is likely to be remembered for the work that was not done. He said, the data is in no need of commentary. He said about 62 hours were lost on account of disruptions.

Three government Bills were passed and two others including Constitution (117th Amendment) Bill, providing impediment-free reservation for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in government jobs, were introduced.

The Chairman said, three short duration discussions on increase in the prices of goods and services, deficient rainfall and impending drought in various parts of the country, and problems of food security were listed but not taken up.

Four matters of urgent public importance in the form of Calling Attentions were listed but could not be discussed. He said, the question hour could be conducted only on one of the 19 days.

The Lok Sabha, which was adjourned sine die, could transact some of its listed business amidst noisy scenes by BJP members on coal blocks allocation issue
